If you have elderly or kids at home who have difficulty reading, the Intel Reader will be a perfect device for them. The Intel reader is a device that is able to scan text, convert it into digital and let the user listen to it.

The Intel reader is small and compact device which functions pretty similarly to a camera. Just point the reader to the text you want to listen to, shoot the page and it’ll then get converted into speech that you can listen to.

The device is also able to copy and store a large amount of text. So, if you’re too lazy to read through those magazines or books, just simply scan them with the Intel Reader so you can listen to them before your bedtime. The scanned text is converted to MP3 which can then be played on a handheld device or a computer. I’s also compatible with some downloadable content like DAISY digital talking books.

It’s also equipped with tactile buttons, voice menus and good navigation controls but at a rather steep price tag of $899. If you want one, just hit the button below to get it from Amazon.
